Gio is forward going yet safe. He is perfect to hack alone or in company and is 100% in traffic. Has hacked out off the lead with novice riders or would lead from another horse for smaller child if required. Responsive and quick to learn, he is well schooled on the flat and works in a lovely outline with three established eye catching paces.

Gio was purchased as a first pony and in the 3 years we've had him has taken his jockey through riding club level, agricultural and county shows both ridden and in hand. Always in the ribbons, his show record speaks for itself. Results for 2017 include:

Overall Junior reserve showing champion, Eldwick riding club
Overall champ novice showing eldwick
Overall champ open showing eldwick
Overall champ m&m eldwick
Champion and Reserve at riding club level several times throughout the season
2nd Malham Agricultural Show Mixed Ridden M&M

4th Tudor Rose Inhand Section C Geldings
5th Great Yorkshire Show Inhand C geldings
4th Royal Lancashire inhand C geldings
Gio has just started to jump this summer proving to have plenty of scope and technique. He seems to enjoy the job and has jumped courses up to 95cm at home, however he does lack jumping experience at competitions and is still green in this area therefore would ideally need a competent jockey to progress this. He would make a really smart m and m worker with a bit more practice. Would also love Pony club games. Has done xc fun rides and seen water and ditches, taking this all in his stride.

Good to catch, box, shoe etc, Gio is a lovely pony to handle and a pleasure to have around. He does crib after a feed, however this does not affect his condition, health or performance in any way. Only for sale due to being totally outgrown.
